• Today Show “Read With Jenna” October Pick

"An extraordinary book about the power of family and sisterhood . . . shows how the ripples of loss and grief can shape even our closest relationships." — Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show's #ReadwithJenna

"An ‘Irish goodbye’ refers to slipping out of a party early without thanks or leave-taking. O’Neill allows her entire cast of characters to exit on a beautiful, yet unresolved, note. Fans of writers from Maeve Binchy to Alice McDermott to J. Courtney Sullivan will relish this big-hearted novel." —Kirkus Reviews
